Description

The New Iridium Extreme® PTT (Push-to-talk)Now Available!

The Iridium Extreme PTT (Push-to-talk) combines voice communication and positioning services with less than two-second push-to-talk capability—all in a portable, hand-held device. Netted Iridium allows multiple users to share a common voice or data connection—broadcasting to all users in a net or to sharing their connection for push-to-talk voice applications. Providing transmit and receive functionality for both voice and data, the ruggedized Netted Iridium handset contains an embedded GPS device allowing the device to send position location information automatically or at the touch of a button.

To switch between the two sides of the device, the user selects the first choice in the menu – “Switch to Phone” or “Switch to PTT.”

The transition from Phone to PTT is approximately 10 seconds while the transition from PTT to Phone is about 20 seconds.

When in PTT mode, any calls into the Phone will be sent automatically to voice mail.

SOS functionality only in Phone Mode.

Scan Mode – the device looks for activity on any of the talk groups for which the device is provisioned and plays audio for a few seconds for each talk group in succession, similar to a police scanner .
